How many of you have I offended?, :p Options

[*Uronacid*]

Well, I know I offend many people on cB. You might think I'm ignorant when I ask this question, but "Why are you so offended by what I say?" I guess I just don't unerstand, and instead of you giving me attitude I would like to make things right. I don't care what it takes. If you want to cuss me out and call me names then please, if that's what you need to do, do it. If that's what it takes for you to feel like you have avenged my "attitude" towards you, then so be it. I would to first understand you, and then I would like you to understand me. I'm sick of the lack of communication.

I personally believe that the main reason many of you hate me is due to a lack of communication on both my part those of you who don't not like me. I would like to make things better, and if any of you have a problem with me or my ideas I would like you to step forward instead of harboring bitterness towards me andd the people I associate with.

So, in order to take the first step in resolving this obvious conflict I would like to take the time to understand you're piont of view. I would like to ask.

Why do you dislike me?

Please do not post if you aren't willing to give me the same respect that I am willing to give you. I will listen to you and try and understand you, but before you post you must realize that I WILL REPLY. In the same way that I am taking my time to listen to your reply (whoever you may be) I expect you to respect me and listen to mine.

I can't say I've ever been horribly offended, just EXTREMELY annoyed with you, to be honest. You come across as a little full of yourself and inconsiderate of others, and some of your posts bothered me. I think you're really a nice guy at heart, but you have a tendency to say things other people don't like (like me, I admit I really didn't like some of your posts), but I appreciate you for being honest about what you think.

And I appreciate you for making this thread. Just because you care. Before, I thought you didn't really give a damn what other people thought. Not that that's bad, but it's nice to get a little feedback every once in a while.

Well, it's not that I don't give a damn... I guess I'm just completely open and honest. I don't hold back the truth.... ever.

I know I might come across as "full of my self", "self-righteous", or "inconsiderate", but in reality I'm just being completely honest. I have always been told that honesty is the best policy, and I have always stuck to that policy. No matter how difficult the truth may be for people to hear I always deliver. Yeah, sometimes it makes people angry, but I'm really helping them. I only hope that they will do the same for me with the hopes that I will become a better person. The person who takes crap is just as bad as the person giving it because they are allowing the shit-giver to continue delivering shit. ;]

Since you PM'd me, I will oblige. :)

These are perceptions I have of you, at this time. Take from them what you will. I do not really sugarcoat things so my reactions can seem a bit on the salt and vinegar side. It's a well recognized flaw/something to approve upon. (Although, that's subjective as well).

I think you might have misunderstood though. I'm not saying that in your personal life you only have feelings for yourself. I'm quite aware of your feelings for your girlfriend. However, the overall vibe (that word is so irksome, but I can't think of a better one at the moment) from your posts, even when you post about another has, in one or another a reflection upon yourself. You may not even realize you're doing that. Like I said before, perception. That's all it is. It's not at all necessarily a reflection of your feelings in real life. I was referring to you, the poster, not you the boyfriend (if that makes any sense at all).

I realize this would be better if I came up with a bunch of posts to cite here, but I honestly just don't have the time. I'm also going to use that dang "P" word again, perception.

I wouldn't take what I said about Holly too much to heart. I think it merits repeating to say that I wasn't commenting about or making assumptions of your feelings. I was giving you an idea of a perception (there's that silly word again) I've had when reading through posts you've made the past few months or so.

Hopefully that at least somewhat clears it up.

Considering what other people have said i understand why you have that perception. I'll tell you right now, your totally wrong... I'm not that person at all in real life. I think that often times people read my posts as if there is some secret meaning behind what I'm saying. They end up taking my posts out of context because they have this false perception of who I am, and expect me to live up to that perception (if that makes sense). It's completely understandable. It's the internet. Everyone does that.

i dont think youve offended me at all.
i dont think people necessarily hate you, or dislike you, they just dont like how you present yourself when you post up threads like the stuff about the black thing, when you assumed rik and jerome were black =/ (not sure, thats how i remembered things)
and if youre asking people to cuss or call you names, obviously they arent gonna do it.
i think ive talked to you once in pm but it was small talk haha
yikes btw. sorry i havent been doing as many missions on ut. im seriously overloading on schoolwork nowadays.

I made that assumption and it was wrong... >.>

I'm not asking people to cuss me out. I'm giving them permission to if they feel like they have to. I know that some of the members on this site are probably so frustrated with me that they may need to let off a little steam.

Omg, don't worry about the missions. Being part of the Unholy Trinity is similar to being on staff. You don't have to participate if your schedule's to busy, and you shouldn't feel obligated. The only reason you should participate is if you enjoy participating. Don't look at it like an obligation.
